What was your first time out in public like after deciding to transition? Where did you go? How were you received? positives/ negatives?
A wise man once said don't judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes, that way when you judge him you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

The first time when I was obviously clearly dressed femininely was in a dress.
I walked around campus, avoiding the busiest spots and I had a very nice walk.
It was first a bit scary but I gained confidence and was enjoying the walk.
Fortunately, no one asked me for directions where a building or lab was or anything else.


Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

It never really worked that way for me. Like I didn't start transitioning then decide a point where I would go out looking more feminine. I was already boymoding wearing female outfits often. I guess there were two key points.

First time in a full feminine outfit was at a furry convention. A red number with hello kitty platforms! I did walk wearing this outfit through Resorts world shopping centre from my hotel to the convention. A couple walked past and heard him say "what the f..." to his girlfriend! I was still identifying as male then.

The first time out after accepting myself as female and truely transitioning was going to trans pride in Manchester. I actually wore some makeup (foundation) and a Care bears dress. I got no issues, many compliments including from a hen night group in a bar. They loved it.

In-between all that I was still wearing dresses and HRT was an experiment. To be honest I don't really remember actively deciding to transition. It just kinda happened as something felt right.

People tell me I'm successful, kind, amazing, I talk sense and got it all together.  Only some see the real tenuous paper thin foundation behind it. The terrified child protecting herself. But I'm strong. I'm gonna be better. I'm gonna start doing life for me. Not what I think others want me to be. Love Charlotte 😻

My first time out in public is yet to happen. If all goes well, I will move to somewhere a bit less judgmental than rural Montana sometime this summer. I already have the red dress I plan to wear.
